"you… "
When Su Zimo saw the newcomer, her first reaction was to ask why she appeared here.
But before speaking, Su Zimo realized that he didn't seem to have appeared in front of the practitioners with his real appearance before, and even when he spoke before, Su Zimo deliberately lowered his voice.
"I didn't expect that there are still people here." Su Zimo found that he couldn't pretend to be too surprised for a while, so he could only stabilize his expression, look relieved, and said, "I thought that in this nightmare world I was alone, and I was startled, but not without precedent."
The trainee on the opposite side was about to flee in panic, but after hearing what Su Zimo said, he showed a blank expression and stopped a few steps away from Su Zimo, staring in front of him with the light of the flashlight in the distance. Su Zimo's expression gradually softened.
At this time, Su Zimo stretched out his hand to the other party again, with a kind smile that was enough to comfort others.
"Hello, my name is Ah Yu. I'm an experiencer who has experienced the world of nightmares seven times. I can barely be regarded as a senior." After waiting for a long time, Su Zimo did not see any other practitioners behind the rookie practitioner. Haunted, so he fabricated the identity of a practitioner again, and the smile on his face was very harmless.
"Are you a trainee?" The newcomer on the opposite side is obviously still young and doesn't quite understand the twists and turns in the nightmare world, so although the expression on his face is still dubious, the whole person feels Su Zimo relaxed. Come down, not as panicked as before.
"I... My name is Lin Xiao, and I'm a newcomer."
Of course, another important reason for letting the other party relax may be because... Su Zimo doesn't look so fierce, even in such a dim flashlight, Su Zimo doesn't feel gloomy at all, but still has a graceful smile and kindness looks like.
People like Su Zimo are also privileged in ghost stories.
"Yeah." Su Zimo raised his left arm, which actually had nothing, "It takes seven supernatural events. I still don't know what those supernatural events are."
"Lin Xiao, I really can't tell that you are a newcomer." Su Zimo looked at the dagger in the opponent's hand and pretended not to know, "Few newcomers have weapons as soon as they come up."
"This..." Lin Xiao didn't seem to know how to explain it.
"By the way, were you alone when you entered the Nightmare World?" Su Zimo asked without waiting for the other party to answer, "Since I can meet you here, will there be other practitioners here? We should join them."
"No! No!" Lin Xiao suddenly raised the volume and shouted twice, and quickly lowered his voice, "I have met other practitioners before, but you'd better not go to them."
"What's wrong?" Su Zimo was a little puzzled.
"They... have a problem." Lin Xiao's expression was a little pale, he walked closer to Su Zimo, and looked around carefully near the wall, "I met a very good middle-aged uncle and a four-person There are five people in the team."
"Five people, I didn't expect so many." Su Zimo showed a surprised expression, and then deliberately sighed, "I am too unlucky to be left here alone, right?"
"Maybe it's luck." Lin Xiao smiled wryly and gradually relaxed, "There is a problem with that four-person team. At first, the newcomer said that he wanted to leave the team and act on his own, and asked me to follow him. I think the two newcomers are together. It was too dangerous to go, so instead of leaving with him, we went to the library with the team of four."
"But in the four-person team, only the person who claimed to be the captain is talking to me. The other three people have not spoken since they entered the nightmare world. There is no communication between the teams at all. With two backpacks, one of which is obviously the captain's, this situation is really too strange, right?" Lin Xiao's expression was a little scared, "And those players are all obedient, and even want to bow down, that kind of feeling is not like the captain and the The team members, instead, are like the emperor and…”
"Anyway, something is not right." Lin Xiao finally didn't say the next words, "And I saw that the trainee who was carrying two bags was comparing his mouth shape to me, and she kept repeating the two-character mouth shape, I'm pretty sure she's telling me 'run away'!"
"Then, when they were going up the corner stairs, I sneaked away. They didn't seem to be chasing after them." Lin Xiao still looked around carefully.
"What the team means is that they should know each other and act together after entering the nightmare world?" Su Zimo continued to disguise his identity.
"It seems so, but they all seem to be wearing a team badge. As long as the wearer wears that badge, everyone can enter the nightmare world with the captain. The captain named Wu Qing also invited me and that uncle." Lin Xiao nodded.
"Impossible." Su Zimo shook his head, "I've never heard of such a thing."
"Maybe something like the nightmare world... Too many props?" Lin Xiao looked at Su Zimo uncertainly, "Maybe there are."
"No." Su Zimo still shook his head, deliberately showing a thoughtful expression, "Could it be a badge like a white button with different numbers of black dots on it?"
"You know?!" Lin Xiao was taken aback.
"I've seen that kind of thing before, but it's not a team badge." Su Zimo paused, "The kind of thing I know is called a slave badge."
Su Zimo knew that he didn't need to explain too much, the words "slave badge" were enough for Lin Xiao, who was opposite, to know exactly what she almost wore.
The reason why Su Zimo told Lin Xiao these things was not because Su Zimo suddenly wanted to be a good person, but because saying these things would make Lin Xiao in front of him completely relieved.
Sure enough, after Lin Xiao was surprised for a while, his eyes and expressions when he looked at Su Zimo were no longer guarded, but angrily confided to Su Zimo: "So, the three people behind him are not teammates at all. , but a slave trapped by him? If that's the case, didn't he invite me to even let the newcomer go?"
"It should be because only newcomers who haven't experienced the nightmare world a few times will be fooled." Su Zimo ruthlessly exposed, "If you really wear the so-called team medal, then your life is the captain Wu's. Now, he can take Nightmare Points from you at any time, or even solve you. And you won't have the opportunity to strengthen yourself and resist, and be bound to him forever until you die in the Nightmare World."
Lin Xiao once again showed a look of fear.
"He just thinks that you are a newcomer who doesn't know anything and can't resist, so he is likely to come to you again. We'd better not stay at the lower level for too long." Su Zimo said, his back turned to the stairs of one of the supernatural events. Leaving the classroom, Lin Xiao did not guide him into the lecture hall at all, "I've seen it here, there's nothing, we can go upstairs directly."
"Okay." At this moment, Lin Xiao didn't mean to oppose Su Zimo at all, but said with some emotion, "It's really great to meet other practitioners, I can't find the uncle who left alone. So I thought I was alone."
"I didn't expect the Nightmare World to be so strange this time, but since we've already encountered such a strange thing as the Nightmare World, we shouldn't be so surprised." Su Zimo tried to confuse Lin Xiao.
"That's right." When he was fooled by Su Zimo, Lin Xiao had followed his footsteps up the stairs leading to the third floor, "Are you also a college student?"
Hearing that Lin Xiao was already in the mood for small talk, Su Zimo, who had successfully infiltrated in, no longer answered, but stepped into the corridor on the third floor with a flashlight and said in a low voice, "There will be supernatural events happening at any time, so let's try not to talk. , look around carefully."
"what!!"
Just as Su Zimo finished speaking, the newcomer named Lin Xiao shouted from behind him. At the same time, Su Zimo also saw a figure appear at the entrance of the stairs on the third floor.
It was another newcomer to this nightmare world, middle-aged Jiang Wei.
"I heard voices downstairs." Jiang Wei was relieved when he saw Lin Xiao, and then looked at Su Zimo vigilantly, "Who is he?"
"Uncle, he is also a trainee, but he was not with us when he entered here." Lin Xiao said, whispering to Jiang Wei about the team medal and slave badge.
Lin Xiao could also give a sense of trust to the uncle who gave him the dagger and sleeping pills.
"Thank you." Jiang Wei looked at Su Zimo, who was carrying a large bag. Although he said thanks, he still looked very vigilant.
"Uncle, there doesn't seem to be any supernatural events downstairs. Did something happen to you on the third floor?" Lin Xiao immediately asked.
"I came up the stairs on the other side, and then I went up the stairs to the top floor, thinking I would find something on the rooftop." Jiang Wei glanced at Su Zimo, "But the door on the rooftop is locked tightly, no matter what. I couldn't pry it open, so I checked the fourth and third floors, and found a possible paranormal event in a classroom on the third floor."
"Supernatural event?" Su Zimo and Lin Xiao seemed to have spirits.
"The sound of reading has been heard from the first classroom on the third floor. I think it is very likely to be a supernatural event." Jiang Wei said, and paused, "But I don't know after experiencing the supernatural event. , will that thing in the classroom just disappear and cause the rest of you to fail the mission. So I've been hesitant to go in."
"But since that Wu Qing is stained with something harmful like a slave badge, I don't think he has to think about his task." Jiang Wei said, and took Su Zimo and Lin Xiao to the classroom where the supernatural incident occurred. go.
As soon as he walked to the corridor on the third floor, Su Zimo heard the sound of reading from Jiang Wei's mouth. But that kind of reading sound is not a child's catchy reading sound, but a kind of murmur that can't be heard clearly. It seems that the voice is a man, but what he said can't be heard clearly. .
The weirdest thing is the wall on the third floor.
The places illuminated by Su Zimo's flashlight had no snow-white walls at all, some were just painted in a mess of blue chalk, cluttered and meaningless.
Some people even tried to paint white chalk on the place where the blue chalk was piled up, which only made the picture more bizarre and depressing.
